For purposes of the Offer, the Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted for payment, and thereby purchased, Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn if, as and when the Purchaser gives oral or written notice to the Depositary of the Purchaser's acceptance for payment of such Shares pursuant to the Offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, payment for Shares so accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer will be made by deposit of the aggregate purchase price therefor with the Depositary, which will act as agent for tendering stockholders for the purpose of receiving payment from the Purchaser and transmitting such payment to stockholders whose Shares have been accepted for payment. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL INTEREST ON THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR SHARES BE PAID, REGARDLESS OF ANY EXTENSION OF THE OFFER OR DELAY IN MAKING SUCH PAYMENT. Upon the deposit of funds with the Depositary for the purpose of making payment to validly tendering stockholders, the Purchaser's obligation to make such payment shall be satisfied and such tendering stockholders must thereafter look solely to the Depositary for payment of the amounts owed to them by reason of the acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to the Offer. If any tendered Shares are not accepted for payment pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Offer for any reason, or if Share Certificates are submitted for more Shares than are tendered, Share Certificates representing Shares not purchased or not tendered will be returned, without expense, to the tendering stockholder (or, in the case of Shares tendered by book-entry transfer of such Shares into the Depositary's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer set forth in "--Procedures For Accepting The Offer And Tendering Shares," such Shares will be credited to an account maintained at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility), as soon as practicable following expiration or termination of the Offer. If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchaser increases the consideration to be paid per Share, the Purchaser will pay such increased consideration for all Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer, whether or not such Shares have been tendered or purchased prior to such increase in consideration. The Purchaser reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or in part from time to time, to one or more of its affiliates, the right to purchase the Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve the Purchaser of its obligations under the Offer, nor will any such transfer or assignment in any way prejudice the rights of tendering stockholders to receive payment for Shares validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer.
